Warsaw confirms Ukraine can strike inside Russia with Polish weapons

The Polish authorities do not limit Ukraine's use of weapons supplied by Warsaw to strike targets on the territory of Russia, Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland Cezary Tomczyk said on Radio Zet.

When asked if any restrictions were discussed in the use of Polish weapons by the Ukrainian military, for example, in carrying out strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation, the official said: "The Polish weapons that we provide to Ukraine do not have such restrictions."

According to him, Ukrainians can fight as they want.

"Ukraine was brutally attacked by Russia, so it has the right to defend itself. We, in turn, are the country that decided to help it in this <...> I believe that the rest of the Western allies should also remove similar restrictions," Tomczyk stated.

Yesterday, French President Emmanuel Macron advocated giving Ukraine permission to strike military bases on Russian territory with Western weapons.
